I learned this listening to true crime podcasts. Killers often try to burn bodies but it doesn’t work because you need an actual furnace to reduce a body down to ash.
It can be seen that way. Neil deGrasse Tyson agrees with you. OTOH, it’s a way to conserve cemetery space and reduce the environmental impact of graveyards.
Blast my body out into the ocean and let the fish eat me
Or, I like the idea of becoming a tree, where they put you in a bag beneath a tree and plant it so the roots will absorb… whatever is left that they possibly can, I think that’s the coolest (imo) way to go and would like to somehow become a tree… don’t want to be reincarnated as an animal, nature is brutal.
An animal does not know pain until it dies since most injuries are fatal without societal support. Humans know the pain of dying and prolong it. Which is more brutal?
My pain isn’t the knowledge of death, it’s the experience of life and I feel like sleeping outdoors, having to kill to eat etc. Wouldn’t be as pleasant of an experience as say eating a bowl of chili and watching a movie before crawling into a comfy bed
Also, when I step on my cat’s foot it meows like it hurts, not sure what you’re saying tbh not being snarky just confused what kind of pain do animals not experience? Depression, trauma etc?
Lead melts at such a low temperature that it will vaporize long before the body is reduced to ash.
I didn’t believe you. So I looked it up. I had no idea how hot cremation was. What a waste of energy.

There’s an episode of Nathan For You where he tries to test if a pizza oven will cremate a body but he gave up after a few hours lol

Sure, but cremation isn’t the only other alternative.
